Sands of Kawhia is all for supporting our whānau and hapori, so join us this Saturday, May 18, as we host a Pink Ribbon Breakfast to raise funds for the Breast Cancer Foundation NZ.

We are on a mission to help wāhine across Aotearoa, one dollar at a time. We are currently sitting at $56 and we are looking to raise $750 to go towards patient bags, scientists working towards a breast cancer vaccine and funding for counselling sessions.

All orders of our Pink Ribbon Waffles and or scones will be donated directly to the kaupapa.

Nau mai, haere mai!!!
